Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn.
Don't read things that you even have a inkling might upset you, no matter how innocuous.
Don't take anything anyone says to you personally. It's not about you.
Stop crying, for God's sake.
And while you're at it, putting on more cheerful music might not be a bad idea either.
I want to be normal. I hear people say that normalcy is overrated. I keep wanting to say to them, "you try living with this fucking condition. Go on. I dare you."
I want to feel, rather than simply know intellectually, that I bring people happiness, or at least are not a burden on them.
I want to not hate myself for the things I have done, to myself or others.
I want to stop hurting.
